If I had 1.3 billion dollars...

1775 signed. Let's get to 2000.

Under Premier Horgan's leadership, taxpayer handouts for fossil fuel companies have increased to a whopping $1.3 billion a year.

That's double what we spend on climate action and five times more than we earn in royalties.

Tell the Premier to stop funding fracking. How do you think we should invest 1.3 billion dollars of taxpayer money?

Dear Premier and Ministers, Last year, the B.C. government gave 1.3 billion dollars to fossil fuel companies. If I had 1.3 billion dollars, I would invest in: * Healthcare * Education * Climate action * Affordable housing * Upholding Indigenous rights * Clean drinking water for reserves * Free public transit for everyone * Renewable energy projects * Equity and anti-racism Ongoing subsidies and tax breaks for fossil fuel companies means there is less funding available to support critical social services like healthcare and education. Fossil fuel subsidies are expensive, incentivize pollution, and undermine climate action. As we recover from COVID-19, every tax dollar we spend needs to put people first. I call on you to end fossil fuel subsidies now. Stop funding fracking.
Yes! Please send me updates on this issue.
